The first time I saw this output in xorg I practically bled anger into little cups of ice, especially after the anticipated performance boost from the releases after 8.41

So, fglrx uses a standard interface (wow!) for applications and drivers to get information of allocated memory. "Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) are control registers that are used as a control mechanism which provides system software with control of how accesses to memory ranges by the CPU are cached. It uses a set of programmable model-specific registers (MSRs) which are special registers provided by most modern CPUs." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mtrr)

Hi everyone! I have a similar (yet not quite the same) issue: I'm using just one AMD A4 APU with fglrx. I would like to be able to use more video memory for opencl computing. I have 512MB and would like to set it e.g. to 1024MB. My BIOS does not allow for this, but for a max of 512MB.

I've tried to use your method, Cruxic, but I don't even know how to apply the mtrr method, because my mtrr looks a bit different:
